I am so enjoying continuing to explore my "Glass Horses" ™ series. For information on how to purchase or commission on of my "Glass Horses"™ works, please click here to contact one of the galleries that represent my original works. It is fascinating to watch each new piece evolve and emerge. Light (from every side) is such an interesting element to bring into play, along with the mix of hues, depth, and textures made in the marks and brushstrokes. I am looking forward to introducing one of my newest "Glass Horses" works at the 2016 Buffalo Bill Art Show & Sale to benefit the incredible Buffalo Bill Center of the West. "Sneak Peek" will be available in the Live Auction of this event on Friday evening, September 23, 2016.

I am very honored to be invited to participate in this group of outstanding Western artists, in this major Western Art event and show.
Here is "Sparrow" watching over us, as she sits on a table behind our couch...I love how the light filters in, and how these works are sculptural as well as painterly in nature. They can be viewed from both sides (each side is different...), and I am enjoying being able to see through each of my "Glass Horses" works into adjacent spaces. As the light of day continues to change, so does the painting itself.
More to follow soon about my "Glass Horses" series....
"Paint Horse Spirit"...a life-sized fiberglass horse project:
I have also been working for the past several weeks on a donation piece for Angel Horses, Inc., and their upcoming fundraising event to be held at White Aspen Ranch in Billings, Montana, on September 10th, 2016. I have completed painting a life-sized fiberglass horse, which will be auctioned off during a live auction that evening, along with other horses painted by Kevin Red Star, Kira Fercho, and a collaborative effort by Lance Johnson and Dawn Ness. I am delighted to be able to participate in this effort to raise funds that will benefit this extraordinary organization, that is instrumental in helping so many.
Below are some photos of the work in progress. After my horse is finished with an automotive clear-coat, I will post photos of the finished piece....
As I said, once the clear-coat is added, I will post a better photo of the finished "Paint Horse Spirit"....If you are interested in learning how to place a bid on this life-sized fiberglass horse on the September 10th auction date, please contact Angel Horses, Inc.. They will be accepting phone bids on all of the horses to be auctioned off....
Wishing all a beautiful summer, and thank you for reading! More to follow....
